                    [Title] => PLDT-SMART GK Village residents find opportunity in dressmaking
                    [Summary] => 


Ofelia Paner always dreamed of being a dressmaker.  She remembered how, as a child, she helped her mother sew dresses by hand and sometimes, using a sewing machine.


She saw that dream fade away when economic difficulties limited her schooling to Grade 5 and an early marriage bore 11 children that had her living on a day-to-day basis at the dumpsite in Calahonan, Mandurriao, Iloilo.

Now, thanks to Gawad Kalinga and Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART), Ofelia is on the way to fulfilling her dream.
